What has Trump done now?

Further to the donation to Kushner's business:

 

Addressing an audience of business leaders during the US-Saudi Investment Forum at the Kennedy Center, Trump announced Prince Mohammed has vowed to invest $1 trillion in America — an increase from his original $600 billion pledge he suggested in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

Tiffany — the only child of Trump and his second wife, Marla Maples — received her undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania, her father's alma mater, before attending Georgetown, where she graduated in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic in May 2020.

 

Because of this, the graduation ceremony was canceled— and despite acknowledging the Covid pandemic, Trump bizarrely claimed in his speech that the cancellation had something to do with the fact that she is his daughter.

 

"Her graduation got canceled because of Covid, but I say if her name was something else, they probably wouldn't have canceled it," the president claimed.

BREAKING: New Ukraine “peace plan” leaks — and it reads like Putin dictated it directly to Trump.

If you ever wanted to see what happens when the United States and Russia sit down and sketch out the future of Ukraine without Ukraine — and without Europe — the leaked 28-point “peace plan” making the rounds in Kyiv is your answer. And buckle up, because this document isn’t a peace plan. It’s a hostage negotiation written by the hostage-taker.

According to Ukrainian media, this Frankenstein treaty was drafted by top U.S. officials with Russian input and approved by Donald Trump — and it reads like the Kremlin’s Amazon wish list wrapped in an American flag.

Ukraine’s input? Europe’s input?

Apparently optional! Democracy is so 2012.

The plan opens with polite diplomatic wallpaper — “Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed” — before immediately carving Ukraine’s sovereignty up like a Thanksgiving turkey. It hands Russia Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk on a silver platter and freezes two more regions in place like they’re leftover pierogi. Ukraine doesn’t just lose territory; it gets told to amend its Constitution to promise it will never join NATO again. NATO, in turn, has to amend its own founding documents to slam the door shut forever.

Oh — and Russia promises it probably won’t invade anyone else. “It is expected” they will behave. Expected! As if Putin is a toddler who “is expected” not to color on the walls again.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military — currently fighting for its survival — gets capped at 600,000 troops, because nothing says “peace” like forcing the invaded nation to disarm while the invader keeps the keys to three stolen provinces.

But don’t worry — the U.S. will give Ukraine a “security guarantee” as long as Kyiv promises not to invade Russia or launch missiles at Moscow “without cause.” Yes, you read that correctly: Ukraine is warned not to invade the country that invaded Ukraine.
In exchange for swallowing all this, Ukraine gets dangled $200 billion in reconstruction money — half of which the U.S. literally profits from. America gets 50% of the profits from rebuilding the cities Putin bombed to rubble. It’s like an insurance scam, except the arsonist gets invited to the ribbon-cutting.

And the cherry on top? Russia gets complete amnesty. Everyone. Every war criminal. Every torturer. Every kidnapper. Everyone.

All forgiven, all protected, all welcomed back into the “global economy.” They even get a ticket back into the G8 as if nothing happened.

It is a peace plan written with the moral clarity of a money-launderer’s tax return.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant? Split 50/50.

Frozen Russian assets? Partly handed back through a U.S.–Russia investment fund.
Education policies? 

Ukraine must teach “tolerance,” because apparently the country invaded by its neighbor is the one with the empathy problem.

Ukraine must hold elections — in 100 days — while fighting a war, hosting displaced families, and surrendering territory. Because what could possibly go wrong?

And at the end of this geopolitical circus? Donald J. Trump chairs the “Peace Council.”
Yes, the man who cannot mediate an argument between his own lawyers gets put in charge of enforcing a continent-wide peace agreement between nuclear states.

This isn’t a peace plan.

It’s not even a surrender.

It’s a clearance sale where Ukraine pays the bill, Russia gets the merchandise, and the U.S. gets a corporate partnership out of it.

The only accurate title for this document is the one Ukrainian commentators already suggested: “The Aristocrats.”

Because only a truly deranged diplomatic performance could end with Russia rewarded, Ukraine disarmed, Europe blindsided, American companies cashing in, war crimes erased, and Donald Trump sitting on a golden throne labeled “Peacekeeper.”
If this is the plan, then the world doesn’t need negotiators. It needs a fire alarm.

I wonder what is the total wealth of the Trump family.

Hard to find out.... besides, it is increasing so fast that any value you could find would be immediately out of date 

[nomadpete]

Trump took to social media to denounce the video on Thursday, sharing a series of posts that accused the Democrats of seditious behavior and suggested different forms of punishment. In one, he said they “should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL”; in another, he described their actions as “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Trump also re-posted an anonymous user’s message that read, “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!”

" Aiding and Abetting Murder

If you intentionally help, encourage, or assist in the killing, you can be charged as a principal—meaning:


➤ Same charge as the killer

    First-degree murder (if premeditated)
    Second-degree murder (if not premeditated)


Penalties often include life imprisonment."

It's getting a bit beyond being a gameshow....

 

Fox has started running ads for the Donald Trump-themed handguns. However, the president won’t be able to buy one of the “Living Legend DT47” guns, given that he is a convicted felon.

“In honor of Donald Trump’s amazing comeback election victory to become our 47th president, Bond Arms is introducing an impressive new handgun—the Living Legend DT47,” the 30-second commercial said, which journalist Aaron Rupar shared in a post on X.

Cynical bastards. Cashing in on the obvious gullibility of the Maga crowd. 

Is anyone manufacturing gold toilet bowls? You could make money from both sides with those. For the Maga crowd, his picture on the outside... for normal people, his picture on the inside with his mouth open.

Funny thing, USA hasn't declared war. But they have declared a NOTAM for all of Venuzuela, & nearby sea. Watch out for unexploded ordinances?

New Ukraine “peace plan”

Words cannot express the outrage one should have for this "plan". It's not a plan. It's a ransom payout, with no assurance than the victim will be returned.  The sooner Australia breaks ties with the present US administration, the better. It a new administration shows itself to be civilised, then negotiations to restore old ties might begin.

 

I know some will say that we are too enmeshed in the USA, but isn't it time Australian people said, 'enough!'? If Australia continues allying itself to the USA as the USA is behaving at the present, Australia's name within the global community will be mud.

Putin must be shaking his head in disbelief at how gullible Trump is.

What a tragic joke of history that both the USA and Russia have criminal, terrible leaders at the same time.

[Jerry_Atrick]

And it's a terrible/trajic joke of history both were put and kept democratically (and it looks like one will go as undemocratic as the other).
